Kate Garraway has revealed that she is embracing her new job on ITV1's revamped breakfast show Daybreak.
The presenter, who will assume the role of entertainment editor on the GMTV replacement, admitted that she is simply thankful to still have a job.
Talking to the Daily Mail, she said: "Anybody who thinks they have a job for life in TV is bonkers. Television is about change. If you were launching a new show and wanted a new couple to front it, you'd pick them [Christine Bleakley and Adrian Chiles]. They're a great team.
"If GMTV was continuing with Ben Shephard on the sofa in the same studio and they'd brought Christine in, I would have wondered what I'd done wrong. But I'd been there ten years. I've had great fun, great money and great times. When the redundancies started, I thought, 'Let's think of different things I can do.' Then they offered me this job, and I thought, 'This is good.'"
Speaking of her new boss - ex-husband Ian Rumsey - she added: "We've seen each other since, so it wasn't a case of, 'Weren't you wearing white when I last saw you?' But before he started, I did think, 'What is this going to be like? This could be weird or really awkward.' You would, wouldn't you?
"Seeing as we're both working together at the moment, we obviously get on and have a lot in common. I think it's good we've managed to keep a friendly relationship afterwards."
